The Love Your Pet Company

I've reviewed Nationwide Pet Insurance before, but since asked, I will do so again: a) Peace of mind: Nationwide provides sleep-well pet coverage. To clarify- I am not a simpering ninny, and we do not coddle our Doobie-monster. But, at just 30 months and 60 + lbs. of Labradoodle-goofiness, she remains puppy-prone to hazards such as the occasional attempt at flight, or the after effects of visualizing a rattan basket full of newspapers as steak.These slight transgressions, albeit frustrating, don't force us into a debate over whether whatever symptoms she exhibits are "serious enough" to warrant a trip to the Vet and the financial strain attached to same; b)b) Icing on the cake: With the new auto Deposit, reimbursement is a more seamless process. Nationwide, continues to provide good-best-and better policy options, and it's worth every dime. Thank you, NW.

Okay with insurance and what it pays. Katie is doing okay as long as she takes the medicine daily for her scratching and biting

Katie was diagnosed with a contact dermatitis do to some allergies. We had t tried numerous things and she was on a different pill daily, which wasn't doing much. The vet recommended the Apoquel about 1 year or so ago. It works wonders. She must get a blood test every 6 months in order to continue to get the Apoquel. It works amazingly well. Show has some minor arthritis due to 2 ACL surgeries several years ago, but otherwise seems well. Thank you for caring. The only issue I have with your insurance is hat it jumped almost $25.00 per month this last renewal time. That is very hard on a senior citizen on a fixed income. I would recommend your company and I have in the past, but now caution people of the big jump in price. she recently jumped off the deck chasing a cat out of the yard and was limping for a couple days. I had the vet give her a Perscription for a mild pain pill and she was good in a couple more days.

I wish my own insurance was this great!

I can’t tell you how much these guys have helped me out! My little girl, Bear Thunder, has had multiple health issues and Nationwide has covered so much of it. Honestly don’t know what I would have done with out it. It also gave me and the vets more freedom to do more tests on her to figure out what the exact problem was. Thank you!!!!
